Tomorrow is the 2nd to last SSR!
Make sure to tune in at 12:15pm to 1400 KSPT or 1450 KBFI for the 2nd to last Speed Sport Report radio show!

With only two races to go several Chasers have been eliminated. The top seven are still in it but this is how it breaks down for them:
- If Jimmie finishes better than 31st Harvick is out.
- If Jimmie finishes better than 27th Bowyer is out.
- If Jimmie finishes better than 23rd his car owner Jeff Gordon is out.
- If Jimmie finishes better than 9th Jeff Burton is out.
- Biffle can stay in if he gives up less than 18 points to Jimmie. So if Jimmie wins and leads the most laps Biffle is out.
- Edwards can stay in if he gives up less than 55 points to Jimmie. However, if Edwards gives up 55 points to Jimmie this week he would have to win the final race and Jimmie would have to finish DFL and lead no laps for Edwards to win the Cup!


10/27/08
It is time for Tony's famous who's in and who's out elimination chart.
With only three races to go none of the Chasers are officially eliminated, yet. However, by the end of the Texas race there will be some eliminated.
- If Jimmie finishes 23rd or better he eliminates 9th through 12th.
- If Jimmie wins in Texas he will have eliminated from 7th back, with 5th & 6th needing him to loose the last 2 races for them to not be eliminated.
It's looking more and more like Jimmie will win his third in a row.

Hello Friends:

I may be somewhat unavailable for the next week or so. I lost my grandfather Tony Villelli yesterday. After a surgery to stop hemorrhaging in his brain on Saturday he never really regained consciousness and slip away peacefully early yesterday morning.


For those that did not know “Papa Tony” he was a real American hero and a true “American Dream” success story. The son of Italian immigrants he married his childhood sweetheart, went on to fight in WWII where he was captured as a POW and had his back broken by a German rifle butt, which was recognized with a purple heart. He came home from the war battered but not broken. He and my grandmother (Bama) would move the family to La Habra, CA and open a restaurant at 1001 W. Whittier Blvd.


In the 50’s he was diagnosed with lung cancer and had one lung and part of the other removed. He started Villelli Enterprises, Inc. and built quite a little real estate empire in La Habra, recently being recognized as one La Habra’s important historic leaders. Making a good living for himself and his “friends” (also know by most developers as investors, but Papa Tony only worked with people he liked) he also made sure to go the extra mile to do good for the community along the way. Villelli Enterprises, Inc. still has its head quarters at 1001 W. Whittier Blvd.


He managed to retire early (I remember dad saying getting him out of the office the first few years was like pulling teeth, he’d show up and give his opinion whether anyone wanted it or not). He finally went on to enjoy life, traveling with Bama and spending summers in their cabin on the Moyie River outside of Good Grief, ID. This was the Papa Tony I remember best. For years they made this journey entertaining as many people as they could possibly fit in the house and cabin. Years of BBQ’s, fishing trips, and birthdays parties.

Bama and Papa’s health both started to decline and we saw less of them as the trips to the cabin became more difficult.

His most recent battle, a victory over prostate cancer, really signaled the beginning of the end of his time with us. He had lived with diabetes most of his life and recently his kidneys started to fail, which led to dialysis. Papa Tony lived his life to the fullest and was a perfect example of what hard work and “clean living” will get you. I don’t know anyone who fits the saying “what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger” better than Papa Tony. After 89 years of hard, but good living, Papa Tony deserves to rest in peace.

I am certainly proud to be named after him! May God and St. Anthony guide his soul home.

Tony Villelli

Big News On Tomorrow's Show!
First off the show will be live tomorrow with Tony in the Blue Sky studios. The next big news is that the Speed Sport Report will be announcing a great contest in conjunction with local racer Jeff Little and Little's Tire and Alignment. And last but far from least we are hoping to have one of this year's Indy 500 rookies on the show! CART super star Mario Dominguez will hopefully be able to take a few minutes away from practice to join us live on the phone. Sandpoint native and PR director for Pacific Coat Motorsports, Katie Brannan has helped us to arrange Mario’s live call during this 2nd day of Indy practice. Hopefully we can get Katie on with us for a few minutes as well.
